Sunday in London

Frost on the ground this morning when we walked across Kensington Park to church at the Hyde Park Ward.
Mom in front of Royal Albert Hall en route.
Interesting chapel, asymmetrical ceiling & organ pipes. Bishop & counselor from US. Speakers from Africa. Most reverent meeting in many years!
After Sacrament Meeting we went to the Victoria & Albert Museum. Gorgeous building -- interesting collections. Lamb and rosemary pot pie for lunch -- delicious!

Thence to the Natural History Museum.
















































Finished our adventures for the day by attending Evensong at St. Paul's cathedral in the City. Great organ, lovely choir of men and boys. Very enjoyable, although I'd have preferred more traditional (less modern/dissonant) music, and the echo made it hard to understand. Hope to try another before we leave.

Looks like you're having a great trip. Be sure to "mind the gap" and "give way" when you're walking about.
